Chapter Seventy-Four: Eyeing the Tiger

Cao Cao was overjoyed and urgently ordered the whole army to send troops to protect Luoyang. At this time, the angel sent by the emperor was arriving, reading out the summons, and ordering Cao Cao to go to protect him.

However, it was said that Luoyang, Li Xun and Guo Yan's military horses had arrived a hundred miles outside the city, and they could reach the city on the same day. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, why was it so fast? At that time, Emperor Xian was only on the side of Dong Cheng, Yang Feng, and Han Xian, and Emperor Xian asked Yang Feng: "Aiqing, I haven't returned to Shandong, and the thieves and soldiers are coming, how is it good?" ”

Yang Feng and Han Xian glanced at each other and said in unison: "The ministers are willing to fight to the death with the thief to repay Your Majesty." ”

Dong Cheng sighed and said: "The courage of the two generals is commendable, but the city is not strong, and there are not many soldiers, how can they withstand this tiger and wolf army?" What if the army is defeated? Alas! ”

When Yang Han heard this, they knew that what Dong Cheng said was true, but he was just deceiving himself, who could stop him? Just silent. Emperor Xian saw that several people lowered their heads and did not speak, only Dong Cheng raised his head as if he was thinking, and he had to say: "I don't know what Uncle Guo's good plan is?" ”

Seeing that although the world is big, there is no way to go, Dong Cheng saw Emperor Xian asking, thought for a moment and muttered: "Why don't we march to Shandong first to avoid its front." Shandong is the boundary of Cao Cao, and Li Xuan and Guo Yan should not dare to set foot easily. ”

Emperor Xian didn't have any good way to hear this, so he had to nod yes. It's just that I don't know much about Cao Cao, and I feel uneasy, but at the moment, there is no other way.

So the generals arranged for the car to drive to Shandong immediately. After several twists and turns, the equipment was no longer enough, and he barely got the car of the emperor. And the officials had no horses, so they had to move forward on foot, and they walked very slowly.

The remnants of the army were not far out of the city, only to see the dust in front of them, waving flags, looking around, countless people and horses, rushing towards Luoyang, overwhelming. Emperor Xian was like a frightened bird at this time, seeing this scene, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and the Empress Dowager Jiang beside him was also frightened and pale, and held Emperor Xian tightly.

Suddenly, I saw a horse flying in front of me, it was the angel sent to Shandong to give an edict, turned over and dismounted in front of the emperor's car and knelt down and said: "Don't be surprised, General Cao has done his best to protect Shandong." Hearing that Li Dao and Guo Yan had committed Luoyang, they first sent General Xiahoudun as the vanguard, led ten generals, and 50,000 elite soldiers, and took the lead to protect them. ”

Emperor Xian and all the civil and military were excited, some old men even hugged each other and cried, everyone saw the flags in front of them, and the soldiers were calm when they were reorganized.

In a moment, Cao Cao's pioneer Xiahoudun had arrived in front of the car, and the two strong men beside him were as powerful as gods, it was Xu Chu and Dian Wei. The three of them turned over and got off the horse to pay homage to the emperor with a military salute, and the emperor saw that the three of them were like gods, and couldn't help but feel very relieved, greeted each other with a smile, and nodded their heads.

At this moment, another sign of men and horses flew in the east, and Xiahoudun asked people to go to investigate, and the report in a moment was that Cao Cao's infantry had arrived. Emperor Xian's heart was wider when he heard this, and when he raised his eyes, Cao Hong, Le Jin, and Li Dian came to see the driver, and after the name was finished, Cao Hong said: "Brother Chen is afraid that the thieves are vast, and General Xiahou is difficult to support alone, so he sent his ministers to help." ”

Emperor Xian was even happier when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "General Cao is really the minister of Sheji. ”

Everyone then escorted the emperor back to Luoyang.

However, it was said that Li Guo and the others led their troops to attack Luoyang, but they saw that the flag on Luoyang City was fluttering, and they couldn't help but be frightened.

But the soldiers had already arrived at the city and were about to scold the formation, the gate of Luoyang was opened, and Xiahoudun and Cao Ren both came out, not even in the array, and rushed directly into the camp of Li Xuan and Guo Yan. Li Xuan and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses marched for a long time, they were already exhausted, and they were unprepared, and they were beaten by Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, with countless casualties and a big defeat.

The next day, Cao Cao led his troops to Luoyang and went to face the saint. Cao Cao walked into Luoyang, looked at the ruins and broken walls around him, and the number of qi was endless, and he couldn't help but feel desolate.

Thinking about the time when you left the eastern capital of Luoyang, how prosperous was Luoyang City? At that time, there was also a dragon's anger, and I couldn't imagine that in just a few years, it would end up so desolate, and I couldn't help but feel sad.

When he came to the palace, he saw that he wanted to see the emperor, but Cao Cao was apprehensive in his heart.

He already knew that the life of the human emperor had been broken, and the dragon qi was no longer there, except that the emperor was still a true dragon, and he was afraid that he was no different from ordinary people.

Cao Cao knew how much he wanted to think about it, and strode towards the temple. I saw that Emperor Xian was high up, sitting upright, and sure enough, the dragon spirit was incomparable, and the majesty was mourned, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

I wanted to go to the Central Plains at the beginning of that year, how majestic the saint was at that time, and he didn't dare to stay longer, but when he saw the emperor today, alas, how could he still look like a real dragon?

Cao Cao paid tribute to the emperor and was very respectful to the emperor. Emperor Xian is a real dragon, and he knows that it is not contrived, and he can't help but feel warm in his heart, and almost feel that he is back in the palace. Seeing Cao Cao's humility, he was busy calling for peace, although he treats himself well now, but who knows what Cao Cao thinks, after all, Emperor Han Xian has been through disasters for a long time, and he is not a pampered person, and he does not dare to take the emperor's shelf at the moment.

At this time, I listened to Cao Cao playing: "The minister is favored by the country, and he thinks about the report, and he doesn't want Li Xun and Guo Yan to rob the Son of Heaven, and the evil is full of 200,000 elite soldiers. ”

Cao Cao spoke to the emperor, in order to show respect and distinguish himself from ordinary people, he did not dare to speak vernacular, and could only play to the emperor in official documents.

When Emperor Xian heard this, he saw his respect, and knew that Cao Cao was powerful and could protect himself, so he was excited, but after several twists and turns, Emperor Xian didn't even have a jade seal on his body, so how could he get a reward? But Emperor Xian has a power, that is, to seal the official, and Emperor Xian is very good at this, so he sealed Cao Cao's Sili Lieutenant Fake Festival Yue Lu Shangshu.

Li Qi and Guo Yan knew that Cao Cao was leading a large army to come, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that his labor expedition was not over, and they wanted to send troops to meet the battle. After all, there are high-ranking people present in the camp, it is Jia Xu, Jia Xu didn't want to care about their life or death, but remembering that these two people were Dong Zhuo's former generals, and avenged Dong Zhuo's great revenge, seeing that the limit of these people was approaching, he felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Jia Xu stepped forward and said: "Two generals, by all means, Cao Cao's elite soldiers are innumerable, and you must not fight with one of them, if you surrender to them, ask for forgiveness of sins." ”

If you want to live, there are still seven points of certainty, who knows that when these two people heard this, they were furious, Guo Yan had lived in the Central Plains for a long time, his heart was very slippery, and he was silent at the moment, but Li Dao had the style of Xiliang and martial arts, and said angrily first: "Jia Wenhe, you dare to frustrate Lao Tzu's spirit, people come, drag me out and behead!" ”

Li urged that he did not talk about the past kindness at all, and under the persuasion of the generals, Jia Xu was spared death. Jia Xu knew that he would not die here.

It's just that I said in my heart: Wufu also, it is difficult to achieve great things! At the moment, he no longer comforted, and took advantage of the night to ride back to the township alone.

As soon as Jia Xu left, there were no more high-ranking people in the camp, and the two of them were on the verge of death.

The next day, Li Xuan and Guo Yanguo did not listen to Jia Xu's words, and the two armies lined up under the city of Chang'an and took Cao Cao.

In fact, Li Dao is still arrogant and impatient, since he drove away the world's first flying general Lu Bu, Li Dao sees himself as invincible in the world, the Xiliang cavalry is invincible in the world, and only this time in the Xiliang cavalry is the Bingzhou cavalry, and the Bingzhou cavalry has been defeated by Li Xuan under the city of Chang'an, Li Xuan does have arrogance.

Looking at the princes of Guanzhong, how can there be anything comparable to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is not a problem, Cao Cao was a defeated general under the Xiliang soldiers back then, and he almost died in a rash pursuit in a war, how could he get into his eyes?

can only blame the people of Xiliang for being fierce and just blindly fighting, but how can they know the way to win or lose, the art of war, how can it be so simple. Although Cao Cao was a labor expedition, he had gone through several battles of all sizes, and he knew that the Xiliang cavalry was galloping, extremely good at surprise attacks, and had already been well prepared.

His command is even more victorious, and the new Yanzhou, morale is flourishing, the new general Xu Chu is even more eyeing, bent on making a name for himself, Xu Chu was born a warrior, and now on the battlefield, it is to stimulate the ferocity in his heart, Cao Cao is full of generals, it is the time of great spirit.

Cao Cao looked from afar, and looked at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the city was indeed extremely strong, and then saw that Li Qi and Guo Yan were already brave generals, and suddenly lowered their hearts, secretly thought, and took them into account, so they ordered Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Cao Ren to lead a hundred iron cavalry each, and killed the enemy camp from the front, showing Cao's military spirit and impressing him.

Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Cao Ren three generals, which one is not the world's fierce generals, although the Xiliang iron cavalry is fierce, only to feel the strength of the rise, fierce light, such as in the big waves when the high roll is so helpless, the chill of the strength is forced to the skin like a knife scrape, already frightened, under such momentum it is inevitable that the heart is timid, how dare to fight?
